The same question. Again.
Emails, calls, and meetings to find out whether a part is moving. Suppliers answering the same question for different people.
Production visibility. Shared.
A shared production workspace for OEMs and manufacturing suppliers. Know where the work stands, what needs attention, and who needs to act next.
The required arrival, supplier forecast, and next action appear together.
The everyday coordination problem
You should not need a round of calls to understand a production commitment. And your suppliers should not need to answer the same question twice.
Emails, calls, and meetings to find out whether a part is moving. Suppliers answering the same question for different people.
A date in a spreadsheet. A drawing in an inbox. A decision in a conversation someone else had.
An unclear commitment or unresolved question becomes a schedule surprise before the right people can respond.
Engineering, operations, and leadership spend time piecing together a production picture instead of acting on it.
From updates to understanding
A clear production view helps you find the work that needs a response, a fresh update, or a closer look.
Keep the current stage, required arrival, and supplier commitment attached to the production record.
Required arrival and expected ship are separate dates.
Discuss the relevant part and revision with the information both teams need to reach an answer.
Give connected OEM customers a shared place to find progress, questions, and updates.
Make the next action explicit and retain the decisions behind a production issue or block.
A connected workflow
Bring the part, revision, quantity, required arrival, and chosen supplier into one production record.
Accept the work and share the expected ship date so both teams can plan around the same commitment.
Update the current stage and expected dates as work moves through production.
Discuss the part in context, identify who needs to respond, and keep decisions with the work.
Carry inspection evidence and the handoff history through shipment, receipt, and OEM review.
Better together

Grounded in manufacturing
Velakron grew from a familiar manufacturing problem: good teams working hard, with too much time spent reconstructing what is happening outside their own four walls.
Why we’re building VelakronThe product uses organization, relationship, and role-based access to keep shared work scoped to the participants who need it.
Security and data handlingThe current environment is not approved for classified, ITAR/export-controlled technical data, or CUI. We discuss data requirements before onboarding.
